Abstract

The disclosure relates to a 5G or 6G communication system for supporting a higher data transmission rate. According to an embodiment of the disclosure, a method performed by a terminal in a communication system includes determining whether a power headroom reporting (PHR) is triggered; identifying at least one of a first power headroom (PH) value for a first physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) corresponding to a first resource index or a second PH value for a second PUSCH corresponding to a second resource index based on a determination that the PHR is triggered; identifying a PHR medium access control control element (MAC CE) related to at least one of the first PH value or the second PH value; and transmitting the PHR MAC CE via at least one of the first PUSCH or the second PUSCH.

Claims (36)

1. A method performed by a terminal in a communication system, the method comprising:

receiving, from a base station, configuration information associated with power headroom reporting (PHR);

identifying whether a PHR is triggered based on the configuration information;

in case that the PHR is triggered, identifying a first power headroom (PH) value for a first physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) corresponding to a first control resource set (CORESET) pool index and a second PH value for a second PUSCH corresponding to a second CORESET pool index;

identifying a PHR medium access control control element (MAC CE) related to the first PH value and the second PH value;

transmitting, to the base station, the PHR MAC CE via a first transmission and reception point (TRP) corresponding to the first CORESET pool index, in case that the first PH value is associated with an actual PHR and the second PH value is associated with a virtual PHR; and

transmitting, to the base station, the PHR MAC CE a second TRP corresponding to the second CORESET pool index, in case that the first PH value is associated with the virtual PHR and the second PH value is associated with the actual PHR.

2. The method of claim 1 ,

wherein the PHR MAC CE includes the first PH value, a field indicating whether the first PH value is based on a real PUSCH transmission or a reference format, the second PH value, and a field indicating whether the second PH value is based on a real PUSCH transmission or a reference format.

3. A method performed by a base station in a communication system, the method comprising:

transmitting, to a terminal, configuration information associated with power headroom reporting (PHR);

receiving, from the terminal, a PHR medium access control control element (MAC CE) via a first transmission and reception point (TRP) corresponding to a first control resource set (CORESET) pool index, in case that a first power headroom (PH) value is associated with an actual PHR and a second PH value is associated with a virtual PHR; and

receiving, from the terminal, a PHR MAC CE via a second TRP corresponding to a second CORESET pool index, in case that the first PH value is associated with the virtual PHR and the second PH value is associated with the actual PHR,

wherein the PHR MAC CE is related to the first PH value for a first physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) corresponding to the first CORESET pool index, and the second PH value for a second PUSCH corresponding to the second CORESET pool index.

4. The method of claim 3 ,

wherein the PHR MAC CE includes the first PH value, a field indicating whether the first PH value is based on a real PUSCH transmission or a reference format, the second PH value, and a field indicating whether the second PH value is based on a real PUSCH transmission or a reference format.

5. A terminal in a communication system, the terminal comprising:

a transceiver; and

a controller operably coupled with the transceiver and configured to:

receive, from a base station, configuration information associated with power headroom reporting (PHR),

identify whether a PHR is triggered based on the configuration information,

in case that the PHR is triggered, identify a first power headroom (PH) value for a first physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) corresponding to a first CORESET pool index and a second PH value for a second PUSCH corresponding to a second CORESET pool index,

identify a PHR medium access control control element (MAC CE) related to the first PH value and the second PH value,

transmit, to the base station, the PHR MAC CE via a first transmission and reception point (TRP) corresponding to the first CORESET pool index, in case that the first PH value is associated with an actual PHR and the second PH value is associated with a virtual PHR, and

transmit, to the base station, the PHR MAC CE a second TRP corresponding to the second CORESET pool index, in case that the first PH value is associated with the virtual PHR and the second PH value is associated with the actual PHR.

6. The terminal of claim 5 ,

wherein the PHR MAC CE includes the first PH value, a field indicating whether the first PH value is based on a real PUSCH transmission or a reference format, the second PH value, and a field indicating whether the second PH value is based on a real PUSCH transmission or a reference format.

7. A base station in a communication system, the base station comprising:

a transceiver; and

a controller operably coupled with the transceiver and configured to:

transmit, to a terminal, configuration information associated with power headroom reporting (PHR)

receive, from the terminal, a PHR medium access control control element (MAC CE) via a first transmission and reception point (TRP) corresponding to a first control resource set (CORESET) pool index, in case that a first power headroom (PH) value is associated with an actual PHR and a second PH value is associated with a virtual PHR; and

receive, from the terminal, a PHR MAC CE via a second TRP corresponding to a second CORESET pool index, in case that the first PH value is associated with the virtual PHR and the second PH value is associated with the actual PHR,

wherein the PHR MAC CE is related to the first PH value for a first physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) corresponding to the first CORESET pool index, and the second PH value for a second PUSCH corresponding to the second CORESET pool index.

8. The base station of claim 7 ,

wherein the PHR MAC CE includes the first PH value, a field indicating whether the first PH value is based on a real PUSCH transmission or a reference format, the second PH value, and a field indicating whether the second PH value is based on a real PUSCH transmission or a reference format.
